Get your NHL trade rumors here.
In tomorrow's editions we address the state of the Ducks at the 2010 trade deadline, which is tomorrow at noon. GM Bob Murray probably won't complete the same magnitude of trades as he did at last year's deadline, which saw Sammy Pahlsson, Travis Moen, Kent Huskins and Steve Montador shipped out just under the wire.
A couple sticking points:
- Scott Niedermayer is "going nowhere."
- The current asking price for the type of minutes-eating defensemen Murray would like is a second-round draft pick.
- Looking at the early rounds of the June draft, the Ducks have two picks in the first round and Murray said they aren't going anywhere. They also have one in the second and none in the third unless Philadelphia wins the Stanley Cup (thanks, Chris Pronger).
